Re: Artillery going the way of the eight track tape?

I learned that lesson myself. Got a add on DVD reader/burner for my laptop. Then I went to thumb drives for saving stuff on both my desk top and laptop. I have a lot of blank DVDs that I bought that I will probably never use. Wonder if Good Will wants them?

The shotgun, the rifle , and the New Vaquero pistol were all sold by the Styx River rifle range for me. Ad...

Re: Gun show December 2025

I don't know what was actually selling. I saw a number of people filling out paper at the apparently professional dealer tables. Someone that's an individual selling their collection wouldn't have to fill out the gun check papers if selling to state residents above certain age classifications based ...

Re: Canon EOS 630

In 1989 this is what they sold for. Off shore maybe from this advertiser for mail order shoppers and probably without the US warranty if it was. The camera was one price the lens or lenses were extra. In today's money a camera with a 50mm normal lens would be the equal to something over $1000.
